My Internist ran bloodwork for Uric Acid test yesterday, and called to tell me it came back normal. I forgot that the other test, which showed a nearly double elevation of Uric acid, was actually in 24 hour urine, not blood...

Anyone have any idea what could be going on here? Why would it be normal in the blood and so elevated in urine?

I am not on any of the things MrsD listed, except I have taken AlkaSeltzer, at most 2 tablets, not every day and a little coffee... I might have a little Kahlua when we have Mexican food, usually none... Otherwise, zip...

I don't think I have ever been tested for this. Thyroid issues, perhaps? Fatty liver, whose enzymes occasionally elevate??? Who do I go to next? Original test was done by a diagnostician, not a treating doc, so I really cannot go back there for help...
